and that actually does work, and i'm working now that i'm doing all this work working closely with hsh to instill the same types of processes in place so that they're what we one of the things we've planned to do in the next coming year is to have the tenant right to counsel folks, come to all the service providers that are on site and make sure that all the service providers, property management and services work closely together to ensure that in subsidized housing, that in fact, if someone is receiving a notice, they understand hand what is on the notice and that who that they would connect with to get legal representation. and that's in their best interest. not to ignore what's going on because they do have a very good chance of winning. and so it's really important to be able to move forward on that. so that process of creating a connection to inform us actually does work. i've been doing it now for a long time. thank you. thank you so much, supervisor prestigious. i wanted to express my appreciation, for folks here, for the presentation and for all the wonderful work that you've
